Information Security Trust & Compliance Specialist
Are you an analytical information security or risk professional? Do you have a broad understanding of cloud operations, core enterprise security domains, and emerging technology frameworks?
We are seeking an Information Security Trust & Compliance Specialist to join our regional security office. In this role, you will act as a vital back-office translator, leveraging your comprehensive technical security vocabulary to accurately evaluate and respond to complex customer security, risk, and compliance questionnaires.
This is a non-client-facing position focused strictly on written, asynchronous execution. Rather than coding or building infrastructure hands-on, you will interpret customer inquiries and map them against our existing architecture, data protocols, and emerging AI frameworks (including Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions).
Contract Details
- Duration: Short contract until 30th Sept 2026 (with potential to extend until the end of the year)
- Pay: Up to £374.95 per day – 40 hrs/week (PAYE)
- Contact: Shortlisted candidates will be contacted ASAP. Due to the high volume of applicants, we may be unable to reply to each applicant individually.
What You’ll Do
- Execute Questionnaires: Review, analyse, and precisely respond to inbound, highly detailed technical security and compliance questionnaires on behalf of enterprise prospects and clients.
- Support the Sales Lifecycle: Act as a reliable technical data resource to help sales teams confidently and quickly navigate regional security risk assessments.
- Navigate Emerging Tech: Interpret and document technical parameters surrounding cutting-edge platforms, specifically addressing customer inquiries regarding data governance and security in GenAI and Agentic AI environments.
- Document and Audit: Map internal security protocols against global frameworks to ensure written customer-facing deliverables are robust, accurate, and authoritative.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
